If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food in Wyoming, there are a surprising number of options. One that we really love is a little joint called Los Compadres Mexican Restaurant in Gillette. The food is so fresh and the atmosphere is as friendly as can be!
It may look like a hole-in-the-wall, but inside this colorful building is a gem of the Wyoming dining scene.
Wyoming is just about as far as you can get from Mexico while remaining in the United States, but Los Compadres will make you feel like you stepped across the border!
The decor is traditional Mexican and the bright colors really complement the fun atmosphere! The easy going vibe makes for a comfortable meal, and you certainly won't leave hungry.
The charming Mexican artwork on the walls adds to the ambiance. You'll almost forget you didn't leave Wyoming. It feels like Cinco De Mayo in this place!
Of course, what would a Mexican restaurant be without margaritas? Los Compadres offers several varieties of margarita, including a spicy jalapeño flavor. There's even a cucumber-flavored one!
Don't forget dessert! Los Compadres offers Mexican classics like fried ice cream served in a tortilla bowl. It's hard to leave room for dessert, but trust us, you'll want to with desserts this good.
